Family Immigration Lawyer — Serving All 50 States
We understand that family is at the heart of what truly matters. Our dedicated team of experienced family immigration attorneys is here to guide you through the intricate and emotional journey of bringing your loved ones to the United States or securing your family's status.
U.S. citizens and lawful permanent residents (green card holders) can sponsor certain family members to come and live in the United States.
Immediate relatives of U.S. citizens, including spouses, unmarried children under 21, and parents of U.S. citizens (if the citizen is at least 21 years old), are given top priority and can generally immigrate without numerical limitations.
These visas are available for more distant relatives, such as unmarried adult children, married adult children, and siblings of U.S. citizens.
When a U.S. citizen or permanent resident marries a foreign national, they can apply for a marriage-based visa or adjustment of status for their spouse to become a lawful permanent resident.
We'll help you navigate the process of obtaining a K-1 visa to bring your fiancé(e) to the U.S. for marriage.
If you are eligible to apply for a green card from within the United States, we will guide you through every step of the Adjustment of Status process. Attorney Monica Kazemi personally handles your case, ensuring all paperwork is correctly filed and you are fully prepared for your green card interview.

If you entered the U.S. without documentation and need a waiver to obtain legal status, we can help you navigate the I-601A Provisional Unlawful Presence Waiver process.
Step 1: Family-Based Petition
We start the process in the United States by filing a family-based petition for your green card.
Step 2: I-601A Waiver Application
If you entered the U.S. without proper documentation, you may require a provisional unlawful presence waiver before leaving the country for consular processing. We ensure this is properly filed so you don't get stuck abroad.
Step 3: Consular Processing & Green Card Approval
Once the waiver is approved, we guide you through the final consular interview in your home country, allowing you to return as a lawful permanent resident.
If you are applying for a green card from outside the United States, consular processing is the path to lawful permanent residency.
Step 1: Family-Based Petition
We begin by filing the family-based petition (Form I-130) with USCIS to establish your eligibility for a green card.
Step 2: National Visa Center (NVC) Processing
Once your petition is approved, we handle the submission of all required documents to the National Visa Center (NVC) to move your case forward.
Step 3: Consular Interview Preparation
We prepare you for your interview at the U.S. embassy or consulate in your home country, ensuring you know what to expect and how to present your case effectively.
Step 4: Entering the U.S. as a Lawful Permanent Resident
Once approved, you will receive your immigrant visa, allowing you to enter the U.S. as a lawful permanent resident.
If you obtained a conditional green card through marriage, you must file to remove conditions to obtain permanent residency.
Married Couples — Joint Petition (I-751)
If you are still married, we help you and your spouse file a joint petition to remove conditions, ensuring all evidence supports your case.
Divorced or Separated — Waiver Application
If you are divorced or separated, you may still qualify for a waiver. We build a strong case to prove that your marriage was legitimate, ensuring the best chance of success.
The immigration process can be complex, and it's strongly advised to consult with an experienced immigration attorney to assess your individual circumstances.
